Daniel Wimberly said he’s glad he took a chance after noticing social media posts that rapper Torence “Boosie” Hatch had been seen in Shreveport. Wimberly and his wife, Shantina, were at a concert in Frisco, Texas, when they heard that the Louisiana rapper had been spotted. Not knowing whether he would respond, Daniel sent Boosie a message inviting him to attend service at Greater Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. “Daniel, my husband, always invites everyone to attend church with us. To us, it was all about the ministry,” Shantina said. That Sunday, Daniel was setting up when he spotted Boosie and his fiancée entering the church. “While I was playing drums, I was shocked because we are a small neighborhood church and here is this national recording artist who doesn’t even know me walking in to visit.” Wimberly said he revealed at the end of the sermon that he was the one who invited Boosie. Wimberly thanked Boosie for coming and invited him to prayer. “I told him, ‘God bless him.’ Boosie smiled and you can see he was overjoyed. Then our pastor called him up to the front and asked him if he would like to say anything and Mr. Hatch asked for prayer,” Wimberly recalled. He said will never forget the conversation he had with Boosie after church.
